He wrote that Uri: The Surgical Strike is competing with biggies in several circuits. Week 6, Friday Rs 1.20 crore, Saturday Rs 2.51 crore, Sunday Rs 3.21 crore. Total: 226.05 crores.

While the Mumbai circuit alone has made a contribution of over Rs 77 crore, the earnings from Nizam-AP, Mysore, Tamil Nadu and Kerala circuits are more than Rs 37 crore. Bengaluru, it is worth mentioning, has contributed enormously.

What’s noteworthy is how Uri: The Surgical Strike has managed to battle the Gully Boy juggernaut. The Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt-starrer is obviously the first choice of the moviegoers but despite that, Uri: The Surgical Strike is very much holding its own. Nearly Rs 2.50 crore of a collection on sixth Saturday is no joke, after all!

Taran Adarsh’s Tweet:

#UriTheSurgicalStrike continues to win hearts… Crosses ₹ 225 cr… Stays super-strong, despite #GullyBoy juggernaut at metros + reduced showcasing at plexes… [Week 6] Fri 1.20 cr, Sat 2.51 cr, Sun 3.21 cr. Total: ₹ 226.04 cr. India biz.
